On March 7th at 22:00 UTC, we’ll be updating our SSL certificates to replace ones that will be expiring soon. It’s likely that you won’t notice any changes and won’t need to take any action. However, if you’re using Mercurial over HTTPS, you may see this error message:

Yeah, I’m getting this. I also had the issue when connecting via HTTPS from Mercurial, and the above recommendation to update the .hgrc file worked for that. Still getting the certificate error in browsers though.

This is the third such entry in my .hgrc file, all different and added over the last few years. Why does this have to change so often? Or ever? Not that it’s a problem to put the line in, I’m just honestly curious here…
